PSJ offers free legal assistance to about 580 vulnerable women persons per year. The clinic promotes women rights and initiatives through policy and law reform programs.

This made possible through its membership / networking programs with all national and international stakeholders. PSJ undertakes public interest litigation and legislative advocacy before various national and international forums to make certain that women’s and girls’ concerns from the grass root continuously inform policies, laws and protocols.

In partnership with the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture, PSJ successfully handled litigation to 250, sensitive cases on torture last year in Uganda, This program enables vulnerable citizens, victims of torture to seek justice through ordinary courts of law and the tribunal system available at the Uganda Human Rights Commission. The clients do not pay any legal fees, the legal services given are free of charge. This project is sensitive to gender related challenges.

At the organizational level, PSJ developed a monitoring and evaluation tool for its current Strategic Plan within which it monitors its strategic objectives and key actions against outcome indicators. At the project/program level, monitoring tools specify the indicators as per the outcomes, outputs and activities; and take into account the types of data required and the sources of data for the outcomes, outputs and activities. Monitoring tools are used to assess three aspects of all projects.

These are:

Efficiency, in terms of minimizing costs

Effectiveness, in terms of achieving planned activities, outputs and outcomes

Relevancy, in terms of addressing the needs of the target group with the view of enhancing their participation in the planned activities

PSJ undertakes baseline surveys and organizes review meetings on a quarterly basis to evaluate progress towards the realization of the planned activities. Program reviews give updates on the progress and challenges encountered in the implementation of planned activities. At the end of each project, PSJ undertakes a project assessment of the planned activities to measure whether there was full realization of the intended activities and objectives, and whether planned sustainability measures were effectively taken into account. The results from midterm and end-of-project reviews are incorporated into project activities.
